What makes you feel old? (1 Viewer)

[Tony Jabroni]

I second walking as considered exercise and "injuring" yourself while sleeping. That really sucks.

 

[geoff8695]

When every member of your original "top 5 list" are all over 40 yrs. old....

 

[Christo]

I know for a fact that all women in their 30s are bat-#### crazy.

I meant to say SUPER bat-#### crazy.

I hate to break the news, but it won't get any better when they blow out 40 candles.

I'm pretty sure the bat-#### crazy peaks sharply in the 30's. I'd volunteer to do more research, but I know better.

It hits a peak at puberty but never tumbles.

 

[the moops]

Some of these have been mentioned already;

Food that's now to spicy for me

My kids getting married

I need my kids help to figure out my phone/computer

People driving to fast down my street

Having to stop drinking because I got a headache instead of catching a buzz

Music that's too loud

Total anxiety kicking in if I stay up past my "bedtime" on a work night

The need to make lists or "plan" everything in advance

Jesus. how ####### old are you gramps?

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

Kids that graduated HS this year had not even been born yet when I was in my last year of college.

 

[McGarnicle]

I crap my pants when I sneeze.

Yep. Lots of my HS & college friends have already sent kids to college.

 

[St. Louis Bob]

It would be a much shorter list of things that don't make me feel old.

 

[Sister Havana]

I'm older than Justin Bieber's and Selena Gomez's mothers.

 

[KCitons]

I crap my pants when I sneeze.

That's a sign of old age? I've been doing that since I was born.

You've never seen a pre-menopausal woman!

 

[Mister CIA]

Another one for me - grunting when getting out of a chair. My Dad's done this for years and I always wondered why he did it - now I know.

I grunt when I take a seat.

when I complain to my wife about peanuts being withheld from me on a flight.

[Horses Mouth]

I'm starting to bang my head in to things and basically not judging distance well. I told my wife it might be my first oldie quirk. I'm 39.

 

[Jayded]

When a mother and daughter are walking down the street and I find myself checking out the mother more often.

Realizing I'm one of the few guys on my team (yes it's a younger team) with graying hair and can really remember big events of the '80s.

 

[Raider Nation]

My eyesight is going to ####.

I used to just need my glasses for reading. Now almost everything is blurry.

[insert too much porn joke here]

 

[Thorn]

Seems like when I younger there were two basic kinds of injuries. One was minor, a soreness or tweak that resolved itself in 24-48 hours. The other was "serious," a pull/swelling/whathaveyou that was 7-21 days to get back to normal. Now everything takes so much more time to heal, and frankly, a lot of stuff never really gets back to where it should be. I have this collection of little nicks and sorenesses that never seem to go away.

[Koya]

I've been on this site for almost 15 years. So, whatever I was #####ing about then, it's now that plus 15 years of getting older.

And my wife, among other things, doesn't even know who the Doobie Brothers are. Learned that one, last night.

 

[glumpy]

Actually reading the AARP mailers.

My wife didn't know who CCR was. That startled me.

 

[Kenny Powers]

I teach high school and when I look at the birthdates on these kids, it makes me feel older every year. I am almost to the point where the kids weren't even alive at any point in the 90s. They talk about the 90s like it was Ancient Rome.

My sister was born in '97. She talks about the 90s like its the 60s. I verbally correct her of course.

2 days of feeling hungover after drinking 1/2 what I did when I was 25.

Getting up at night to pee.

Looking at my watch at 9:30 PM and thinking it's time for bed.

Hate getting up to pee!!!

Gatorade jug next to the bed =

This is more difficult to pull off if you share a bed with a woman who hates disgusting things.

I utilize the Gatorade jug in the car. Comes in handy when I dont want to stop or a bathroom isnt around.

I might buy a 32 oz'er tomorrow so I have another one for the bedside

What age do we have to wake up in the middle of the night to pee? I'm not looking forward to that.

 

[flysack]

If I drink alcohol more than two nights in a row, I begin to see it on my gut.

It's that fast now. Even a firecracker like me has a slow metabolism at 40.

 

[flysack]

The other day I took my 13 year old nephew swimming at a local spot where college kids go to drink and cliff jump. I was hanging out, cliff jumping, having a good time, talking to everyone. Then this hot 19 year old girl looks at me wide-eyed, and I'm thinking, yea fly, you still got it, when she leans over to my nephew and asks, "Is that your dad?"



"No," he said.

"Well I was going to say, you have a real cool dad."

This should have helped things, but really, it didn't.

 

[flysack]

Another - joint pain from lifting heavy weight at the gym.

I've had to take Tylenol after a strenuous workout where I lift 80-100% my max.

Its totally variable, and based on more factors than Id say almost anyone can explain. I have a jug in my car for emergency purposes or when Ive had a few.

I personally wouldnt mind one at the bedside because of pure laziness.

It varies from person to person. For me, it started around 40. There is a family history of prostate problems. (but, the more I read, it sounds like prostate problems happen to 90% of men at some point)

I've narrowed down a few things that make it much worse. Alcohol alone isn't too bad. But if I have a cigar with my beers, I'm guaranteed to get up at lease once for every 3 beers I drink. I've also found that artificial sweeteners are worse than beers and a cigar. I avoid aspartame like it's the plague.

Id guess youre correct, because they know once the 40's hit, they only have 10 more years until their bodies fall apart and they increasingly look like their mother, so theyll be in desperation mode

I disagree, to an extent. There are plenty of hot 50-somethings in the world today.

Results vary wildly by geography.

The fact that I look at hot 50 somethings as hot and whenever I see a hot 20 something, I think "crap, she isn't much older than my daughter"

Watching Andy Van Slyke's son play for the Dodgers this weekend didn't help. Hell I was a teenager when Andy Van Slyke was playing for the Cardinals

 

[belljr]

i dont know many actresses/actors/musicians of say the lst 5-10 years

 

[belljr]

just years of abuse catches up every night

Had a moment this weekend.

Was in the front row at a single-A minor league game and some kid named Julio Concepcion was in front of me. Asked him if he was related to Dave Concepcion. Looked at me dumbfounded and said "who?". I said "you know, the shortstop on the Big Red Machine in the '70s". Still had no clue. Maybe Concepcion im Latin America is like Smith here, but still.

Kid ballplayers today...

 

[jamny]

I'm 49 and still feeling good but definitely my eyesight getting worse. Looking over my glasses to read something sucks or having to take them off in a dark restaurant.

I almost never get up at night to pee, even if I drink 6+ beers that night. I only go about 4 times a day. I'm not sure if that's good and one day it'll just all give out though.

 

[McGarnicle]

Most nights when I drink, my morning crap the next day is a horror show. Soupy, black, and burns like battery acid. Thank god for the Charmin moist wipes because my ### used to feel like I sat on a campfire all day.

That doesn't sound normal - you might want to get that checked out

Being unable to complete the transaction.

Ending the event with a Charlie horse instead of explosion.
